Dupa ce si-a descarcat stomacul, l-a luat de mana pe Dragos si au intrat impreuna in camera lui, inchizand usa in urma lor, fara sa ma bage in seama. ...-am refugiat consternata in dormitorul meu si mi-am tras patura pana peste cap, tremurand la propriu, cuprinsa de niste frisoane reci ce-mi clantaneau dintii in gura. Am auzit apoi scartaitul obsedant al patului din camera vecina si gemetele fiicei mele ce se amplificau la fiecare secunda, din ce in ce mai acute si mai sonore. Mi-am strans. I had arranged to meet john on Sunday to help out, it was 10am and I arrived at the back door. I knocked, no answer, I called out. The door was open so in I went.This led to the laundry room, there was another door leading into the kitchen, I knocked on that and called out, opened the door. I could see into the kitchen and on to the hall and the front door n the distance. I called “John”.John came down the stairs in the distance, he had a towel wrapped around his waist, he said “I’ve just got. He’s Navy ROTC, which means he’s likely to be out in the fleet, but he’s half Italian and doesn’t have a girlfriend. And he’s a really, really nice guy.”“If that’s true, then why doesn’t he have a girlfriend?”“Why don’t you ask him? I’ll make the appointment with the lawyer for a Friday. You drive up; I’ll invite him for dinner. I think you two will hit it off.”“And he’ll expect to get laid?” she asked.I chuckled, “No. But I’m sure he’d accommodate if YOU expect to get laid!”“I just might take. He expected to get his $10k upon return to Aster where we both lived. The story was close enough to the truth, as far as he knew it, that it was indistinguishable from the truth in his mind. Well except for the casino heist part that was.As for me I would most likely make it up as I went along. I had the kind of memory that could not be tripped up. Still I had to cover all bases and I had to refuse the polygraph as well as any other little tests they came up with. I didn't even want to be.
